A24 have released the trailer for its latest horror instalment, Opus, starring The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, who plays a young writer who goes on a trip that takes a sinister turn. In a story that whistles in a similar tune to the likes of The Menu and Midsommar, Emmy winner Ayo’s character is invited to the remote home of a huge pop star – and guess what? Things get weird. Then some floorboards creek. Then they get terrifying.

The trailer has fans in an absolute spin, as many have compared it to other films of this particular genre that seems to be popping up everywhere. ‘OK, this looks nuts. I’m in,’ said @vectorvault on X, while @clippxxo wrote: ‘It’s giving midsommar.’.
‘Incredibly seated,’ raved @benoftheweek, while @_iwitikirp said: ‘It looks like if midsommar and the menu having a child together.’. ‘It kind of looks like a cross between The Menu and Midsommar and I am here for it!!’ agreed @alioop326 – but others weren’t so impressed.
‘This s**t is as tiresome as superhero movies at this point,’ commented @HillisEric, while @CinematicScott asked: ‘Isn’t this just Blink Twice?’. @TNOQuoProQuid summed it up: ‘Do we have a name yet for this genre of horror/thrillers where the concept is being flown out to a lush but isolated locale and then finding yourself at the whims of one extremely powerful, eccentric man (The Menu, Blink Twice, A Murder at the End of the World, Glass Onion).’.
